I use an abrasive wheel to cut stainless tubing, some of the stuff we did for food and other processes had to be really good, and the really good joints were acheived with a non-reinforced abrasive wheel, a bit scary at times as we had a couple of wheels let go!, but the cut is dead square, and requires only minimal dressing before welding...which I do without filler rod most of the time. Only problem was the wheels give off a terrible smell...but in the interest of detail I use them. If you are interested I can give you a name brand off the wheel..they are reasonably cheap. Congrats again on the nice work.
Cheers
